Cutting a Timber Beam
Cutting a Timber Beam
(OP)
I am installing a timber beam to allow for the removal of a wall
The timber beam will support roof struts and hanging beams.
I need to cut the ends of the new beam at the supports to suit the roof pitch so I can physically fit the beam in
What are the rules as to how much of the end of the beam I am allowed to cut?

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.
